Friendship IRL: How Creating a Community is the Ultimate Self-Care with Fresh Starts Registry Co-Founder Jenny Dreizen | EP82
One thing I always say is creating a community is the ultimate self-care.
In todayโs episode, we dive deep into this idea with my good friend Jenny Dreizen, who is the co-founder of the Fresh Starts Registry, which Iโm a huge supporter of.
The Fresh Starts Registry is a registry for all of lifeโs new beginnings, from divorces to graduations, big moves to scary diagnoses. (Sound familiar? I also talked with Jennyโs sister and co-founder Olivia in Episode 68!)
Jenny is the perfect friend for me to sit down and have this conversation with because so much of her work centers around supporting people through changes and transitions.
BTW, donโt let anyone tell you that you canโt make friends on the internet. Jenny and I have never met in person, yet, I can totally see our friendship spanning 30 years from now.
In this episode youโll hear about:
What it means to be in your โfriendship eraโ and why sometimes doing less actually serves friendships more
Friendship breaks vs. just taking a step back from friendship or cutting off just part of a friendship
Putting yourself in places and environments that feel authentic to you and the importance of trusting your gut about your relationships
Coming back to people whose energies didnโt used to align with yours but actually do now
Internet friends, selfless acts, and how deciding to actively engage in your community is actually the ultimate self-care
